Annex 2 - TERMS OF REFERENCE

FOR THE CONSULTANCY CONTRACT OF: National Trainer (Consultant) in Media Literacy

1. Duty Station of the Consultancy: Home-based, with frequent travel to Kyiv, Chernihiv or Sumy Oblasts
2. Duration of Consultancy: 4 months, with possibility of extension subject to availability funds and satisfactory job performance
3. Nature of the consultancy: Category B

Under the overall supervision of the Chief of Mission (CoM), with the direct supervision of the Project Specialist (Community Participation and Cohesion), the Consultant will perform consultancy services under the Project “Livelihood+: Economic Integration of Internally Displaced People and Persons affected by War” and will supplement IOM’s efforts to foster a conducive environment for early recovery in selected war-affected communities in Kyiv, Chernihiv or Sumy Oblasts.

1. Project Context and Scope:

The overarching goal of the “Livelihood+: Economic Integration of Internally Displaced People and Persons affected by War” Project funded by KFW Development Bank on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is to improve the socio-economic integration and resilience of IDPs, returnees and host communities by fostering community solidarity and facilitating sustainable employment in Chernihiv, Kyiv and Sumy Oblasts. The Project will do so by leveraging innovative approaches and technology to foster the creation of an enabling environment for economic resilience, durable solutions, including through local integration, and early recovery.

One of the Project components on strengthening social resilience falls under IOM Ukraine’s Community Participation and Cohesion (CPC) Programme, which focuses on building resilient communities that are empowered to be drivers of peace and positive change. The Programme adopts a community-based planning and cohesion approach (CBPC), which engages local communities to drive their recovery pathways to address possible sources of tensions within and between communities. The Programme includes three key pillars, (i) build capacity for inclusive and participatory governance; (ii) mainstream social cohesion; and (iii) strengthen coordination mechanisms to link national, regional, and local recovery strategies. Through the combined emphasis on capacity building, coordination, and awareness raising, the programme helps embedding local recovery efforts within existing national and regional policy frameworks, while remaining flexible and adaptable to dynamic contexts.

In alignment with the core pillars of the programme, within the Livelihoods+ Project IOM will facilitate the process of community-based socio-economic planning to strengthen the social fabric by supporting inclusive and representative local governance processes, building the capacities of community stakeholders, authorities, and local civil society organizations, and improving the conditions for the social integration of IDPs, returnees, minorities and vulnerable social segments. In doing so, IOM supported the establishment of communal decision-making structures, namely Community development councils (CDCs), which included representatives of local authorities, women, youth, the elderly, persons living with disabilities, IDPs, private sector representatives, and members of other community groups. The said CDCs will be empowered and capacitated to drive the development of community recovery plans, through the prioritization, implementation, and supervision of recovery activities that will help strengthen local resilience, support recovery, and improve socio-economic well-being and integration. 

To this purpose, IOM is recruiting a National Trainer (Consultant) who will be responsible for conducting a "Training of Trainers" (ToT), including the development of the training program and providing ongoing support to the community trainers during multi-disciplinary training sessions in 12 communities across the Kyiv, Chernihiv, and Sumy Oblasts. The objective of the ToT is to equip qualified instructors from within the communities with the skills necessary to transfer knowledge to other community members, contributing to the project's goal of promoting social sustainability and long-term solutions, particularly through integration into local communities and supporting rapid recovery.

The content of the ToT will be based on a training needs assessment conducted among CDC members, addressing current challenges, knowledge gaps, and community needs. Topics expected to be covered include media literacy, effective communication, conflict mediation, and project management, with a focus on how these subjects can foster social cohesion and enhance a collaborative environment within the community.

Додаток 2 – ТЕХНІЧНЕ ЗАВДАННЯ

КОНСУЛЬТАЦІЙНИЙ КОНТРАКТ: Національний тренер (консультант) з медіаграмотності

1. Місце консультування: віддалено, з частими поїздками  в Київську, Чернігівську або Сумську області
2. Тривалість консультування: 4 місяці, з можливістю продовження за умови наявності коштів та задовільного виконання роботи
3. Характер консультування: Категорія В

Під загальним керівництвом Голови Представництва, під безпосереднім керівництвом Спеціаліста проєкту «Участь та згуртованість громади», Консультант надаватиме консультаційні послуги в рамках Проєкту «Життєздатність+: економічна інтеграція внутрішньо переміщених осіб та постраждалих від війни» та доповнить зусилля МОМ, спрямовані на створення сприятливого середовища для раннього відновлення в окремих постраждалих від війни громадах Київської, Чернігівської та Сумської областей.  

1. Контекст та масштаб проекту:

Головною метою проєкту «Життєздатність+: економічна інтеграція внутрішньо переміщених осіб та постраждалих від війни», що фінансується Банком розвитку KFW від імені Федерального міністерства економічного співробітництва та розвитку Німеччини (BMZ) є покращення соціально-економічної інтеграції та стійкості ВПО, репатріантів та приймаючих громад шляхом зміцнення солідарності громад та сприяння сталій зайнятості в Чернігівській, Київській та Сумській областях. Проєкт робитиме це шляхом використання інноваційних підходів та технологій для створення сприятливого середовища для економічної стійкості, довгострокових рішень, у тому числі шляхом інтеграції на місцевому рівні, та раннього відновлення.  

Один із компонентів проєкту щодо зміцнення соціальної стійкості підпадає під дію Програми МОМ Україна «Участь та згуртованість громад» (CPC), яка зосереджена на розбудові стійких громад, здатних бути рушійною силою миру та позитивних змін. Програма застосовує підхід планування та згуртованості на рівні громади (CBPC), який залучає місцеві громади до управління їхніми шляхами відновлення для усунення можливих джерел напруженості всередині та між громадами. Програма включає три ключові напрямки: (i) розбудова потенціалу для інклюзивного та партисипативного врядування; (ii) загальна соціальна згуртованість; та (iii) зміцнення координаційних механізмів для зв’язку національних, регіональних та місцевих стратегій відновлення. Завдяки об’єднаному акценту на розбудові потенціалу, координації та підвищенні обізнаності, програма допомагає вбудувати зусилля з відновлення на місцевому рівні в існуючі національні та регіональні політичні рамки, залишаючись при цьому гнучкими та адаптивними до динамічних контекстів.  

У відповідності з ключовими напрямками програми, у рамках проєкту «Життєздатність+» МОМ сприятиме процесу соціально-економічного планування на рівні громад для зміцнення соціальної структури шляхом підтримки інклюзивних та представницьких процесів місцевого врядування, розбудови потенціалу зацікавлених сторін громади, органів влади та місцевих організацій громадянського суспільства, а також покращення умов для соціальної інтеграції ВПО, репатріантів, меншин та вразливих соціальних верств. Роблячи це, МОМ підтримала створення громадських структур прийняття рішень, а саме Рад розвитку громад (CDC), до складу яких увійшли представники місцевої влади, жінки, молодь, люди старшого віку, особи з інвалідністю, внутрішньо переміщені особи, представники приватного сектору та члени інших громадських груп. Зазначені Ради (CDC) будуть наділені повноваженнями та спроможністю керувати пріоритизацією, впровадженням та наглядом за діяльністю, яка допоможе зміцнити місцеву стійкість, підтримати відновлення та покращити соціально-економічний добробут та інтеграцію.  

З цією метою МОМ наймає Національного тренера (Консультанта), який відповідатиме за проведення «Тренінгу для тренерів» (ToT), включаючи розробку програми навчання та надання подальшої підтримки тренерам із громад під час мультидисциплінарних тренінгів у 12 громадах Київської, Чернігівської та Сумської областей. Метою ТоТ є підготовка кваліфікованих інструкторів із громад навичками, необхідними для передачі знань іншим членам громади, підтримуючи мету проєкту сприяти соціальній стійкості та довгострsolution, particularly through integration into local communities and support for rapid recovery.

The content of the ToT will be based on a training needs assessment conducted among CDC members, in order to solve current problems, gaps in knowledge and needs of the community. Topics such as media literacy, effective communication, conflict mediation, and project management are expected to be covered, focusing on how these topics can contribute to social cohesion and improve collaborative communities.
